Year of New Beer: Stryker, Rhinegeist Brewery (Cincinnati)

Written By: Dion on 09/14/2016

Candied pineapple, orange marmalade, honey, and a touch of caramel greet the nose, with a bit of dank herb and chive developing with warmth. On the tongue, a malty sweetness is intertwined with a resinous, pithy hop bite. Grapefruit and orange peel dry the mouth as a deceptively smooth alcohol warmth begins to take over. Dried apricot and pineapple maintain a sugary presence. This is far too easy drinking for its heft. Very nice.
